A free display for a resort usually means the fixture is supplied within an opening eyewear commitment. The resort still pays for inventory, freight or setup where applicable, space, maintenance, and seasonal carrying risk.
Clarify the offer
- fixture ownership and return terms
- opening inventory and product-claim documentation
- freight, assembly, installation, signage, and replacements
- reorder minimums and seasonal lead times
- damage, credits, substitutions, and discontinued styles
- exit terms after the season or program
Calculate the real resort cost
Include landed merchandise, payment timing, seasonal backstock, resort-retail space, staff labor, and inventory carried after peak demand. Compare with occupancy-linked contribution, reorders, stockouts, and aging.
Do not let the fixture determine scale
The display should fit the guest location and service capacity. A larger supplied rack can increase risk if the resort cannot replenish or rebalance it.
Review by period
Use normal, peak, and end-of-season reviews before expanding or repeating the same opening mix.
